New 30 carbine Blackhawk

Just picked up a Blackhawk in 30 carbine. Birth date 2014. Looks unfired, guy I got it from said it was unfired. Very, very faint turn line. No carbon rings on the face of the cylinder. Spotless bore. What would be a fair price? Under $650.?

Under $650 would be a good deal. Over $700 not so much.

$595

MSRP on a new one is about $850 I think.
Haven't seen one locally for months and months ….. maybe a couple of years.
If you're stuck with on line buying prices will surely be higher.
Blue Book says $635 if It's 98% condition.

Thanks all. I guess it will make a good compliment to my M1 Carbine.

I also have a Blackhawk in .30Carbine.
Highly recommend everyone have at least one.
Fun to shoot cartridge with little recoil. Despite claims by other that it is an extremely loud cartridge in a revolver, I don't find it any louder than any magnum revolver round. I do wear electronic muffs when shooting which may be why I don't find it objectionable.

Yep

I have a newer production .30 Blackhawk , I put an old Made in Colorado Redfield pistol scope on it and it's like a little hand rifle. I shoot it to 100 yards and have hit steel at 200 with it

I want to find an older one to leave with Iron sights

They went for $520 brand new in 2013. If it's complete and like new, I'd say anywhere from $500-750, otherwise I'd buy a brand new one.

A .30C is useless to me but some people need to realize that run of the mill, excellent condition new models are selling for $750 easy and a late model .30C is not really common. $595 won't happen.

+1

Price guides put OM 30 Carbines at $750 in 98% condition.
I bought mine cause I already had an M1Carbine and yes, it's a nice compliment.
What's more ….. mine has a s/n in the 50xx range.

Many times the OM 30 Carbine will bring more than what the book says.

The 30 Carbine and shorty 41 Mag are my favorite single actions to shoot.

I remember complaining when I bought mine "back in the day" for $195 (used, no box) but about 95% condition... 3-screw. It ROCKS the range every time I pull the trigger...

Grab it ,who knows when, if ever , they are made again ?

I bought an OM 30 Carbine several years ago and would suggest you watch case length closely. I trim after each firing as those cases do grow.

I have a cousin trying to sell me one, I shot it several years ago, if I remember correctly it was in good shape. His Ex bought it for him. Comes with at least 15 boxes of ammo and a leather holster and belt. Maybe I should buy it, but I keep telling myself I don't need yet another caliber to deal with. He was wanting $750 for everthing.

Hey Guys,
Keep in mind that you can shoot 32H&R Mag in old models and 32-20s and 32 mag in the new models I believe without any work.
I have shot 32s in my old model no problem. 32-20s will not work in the counter bored cylinder.

I knew 32-20 wouldn't work in my OM. I hadn't thought about 32 HR Mag. It appears 327 mag will work in the NM.
